Teardrop Trailers – Small, Stylish, and Adventure-Ready
Teardrop trailers are the compact icons of RV travel. Known for their rounded, aerodynamic shape and lightweight build, they’re perfect for adventurers who want the freedom to hitch up and go.
What is a Teardrop Trailer?
Teardrop trailers are small, towable RV—usually 4–6 feet wide and 8–10 feet long—designed for 1–2 travelers. They’re easy to tow with almost any vehicle, including many cars. Inside, you’ll find a bed platform and storage, while the rear hatch often opens to reveal a compact outside galley kitchen. Some include A/c and entertainment systems.
Teardrop trailers are popular with road trippers, weekend campers, and minimalist adventurers who want the essentials without the bulk.
